It is as easy to install Arch nowadays as any other distro. Current Arch ISOs come with an easy TUI installer built-in called archinstall, and if you select any modern DE you get GUI tools to manage everything from drivers to the kernel as well.
But I do agree about the effortlessness ready-to-use distros like Mint bring. It’s like living in a dormitory as against living in your own apartment - there is less customizability but then you also don’t have to worry about little things like cleaning and supplies and maintenance.
